Payment & Refund Policy

Accepting JHU's offer of admission and enrolling in classes, each student accepts responsibility for paying all debts to the University, including tuition and fees, for which he or she is liable. An individual's registration as a JHU student constitutes his or her agreement to make timely payment of all amounts due.

Each student attending Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health assumes responsibility to pay all University-related expenses not covered by financial aid and/or awards by the University.

If your account is delinquent and satisfactory payment arrangements have not been made, the University may take steps necessary to collect the balance due including, but not limited to:

Students who withdraw from the University must make arrangements to meet all outstanding financial obligations. Your academic transcript will not be released until payment of all obligations has been made in full.

Graduating students must pay all financial obligations to the University prior to graduation. Your diploma and/or academic transcript will not be allowed until this obligation has been met.

Billing Information

Statements are available online via SIS on the second Thursday of each month. In order to receive notification of electronic statements, the student must have a current email address listed with the Registrar's Office and a valid JHED-ID.

Payment Options

Payment options include cash, check, bank wire or credit card (MasterCard, American Express, Visa, or Discover). Online payment by credit card or electronic check is also available. Employees of the University may be eligible to use JHU tuition remission. Sponsored students may pay with a third-party contract.

A late payment fee of $100 will be assessed for any payment received after the payment due date for each term.

Delinquent accounts are sent to an outside collection agency and will be assessed a 15 percent collection fee based on the unpaid balance.

All checks should be made payable to Johns Hopkins University. A student who submits a check that is returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a $25.00 fee and placed on financial hold, and may be removed from courses which he or she is currently registered. Grades may be withheld and students may be prevented from registering for future courses until payment is reissued. Payment from students seeking to register may be applied against prior obligations to the University.

Credit Card Payments

The University accepts four major credit cards: MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. A student who submits a credit card payment that is declined will be assessed a $25.00 fee and placed on financial hold and may be removed from courses for which he or she is currently registered. Grades may be withheld and students may be prevented from registering for future courses until payment is reissued.

Western Union For International Payments

Johns Hopkins University has engaged Western Union Business Solutions to facilitate the receipt of student fees by the Johns Hopkins University from international students. This payment option allows students to pay the university their student account balance in the currency of your choice and provides a simple and secure method for initiating payments electronically. We encourage all international students to choose this cost effective and efficient method of payment to the Johns Hopkins University.

JHU Tuition Remission

Students who are eligible to participate in the JHU Tuition Remission Plan must provide the Tuition Remission Benefit Application in lieu of payment for tuition. Fees are not covered under the Tuition Remission Plan. If the remission does not cover the entire cost of tuition, a student is required to pay the remaining balance. Original remission forms and any additional payment due from the student must be submitted by the payment due date for each term. It is the student's responsibility to understand and abide by the terms of the Tuition Remission Plan. You may obtain the application at http://www.benefits.jhu.edu/documents/trffacandstaff.pdf

3rd Party Contract

Third Party Payment is an agreement with domestic or foreign company, corporation, state or government agency that has been granted, by SAO, special billing arrangements to cover tuition and other fees for students the company will sponsor. SAO must have letter of authorization submitted on company letterhead.

Letter of Authorization from the Sponsor includes:

student’s name

student’s ID#

term or duration of program

charges they will be responsible for

Tuition Refunds

Johns Hopkins University students are eligible to receive refunds resulting from credit balances in their student accounts. In response to requests from these students to provide more flexible options for receiving refunds, the University completed an assessment of outside vendors and selected BankMobile. BankMobile offers students the opportunity to receive their refunds in one of two ways: direct deposit into an existing personal bank account or direct deposit into a new checking account (with an associated debit card) with BankMobile. View our institution's contract and U.S. Department of Education Compliance Book with BankMobile, a division of Customer Bank.

Please note: Students who withdraw from a course after the posted add/drop date are responsible for the tuition payment even if the original tuition was paid by third party or tuition remission.
